Letter to the Editor Editor, The Friends of the GBSS Library would like to thank the students and staff of Georgian Bay Secondary School, The Meaford Library, The Net Shed and the Beaver Valley Outreach for their kind donations to our program. Every book received helps to improve our library and the minds of our students! As Oscar Wilde said, "It...

Letter to the Editor To all the residents of the Municipality of Meaford, It has been an honour to serve on the municipal council for the last 11 years – 7 as mayor.  I want to thank you for your support over these years.  It has not always been easy but a great deal has been accomplished and I am very...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Recent TMI editorial about fewer windows on Sykes Street to decorate became a promo to shop locally then descended into a screed about how wonderful things would be if gas prices were $3 per litre. Do progressives ever consider the unintended consequences of policies that they embrace like religion? They seldom connect the dots or they...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I enjoyed your article on thinking outside the box. My wife and I just moved to Meaford, purchasing a house in the downtown area. When I was the general manager of Dunnville Hydro, there were a lot of issues to deal with in which people said it can’t be done. I finally put a saying up on...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Thank you to the 1765 people who agreed with my wife Kim. Your support, assistance and encouraging words were and will be the driving force as I serve you on council. While it is apparent that taxpayers are concerned about spending and roads, I need clear and collaborative ways to address these issues. One comment in...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Being away from Meaford for a few years now I find it heartwarming to be able to read this well-written TMI paper. An excellent source to be informed about events and on-goings in and around the Municipality of Meaford. Well, a few things have changed, but in my opinion quite a number of problems seem to...

Letter to the Editor Editor, We here in my household are profoundly disappointed with the election results. To elect Clumpus is to carry on with the same reckless spending and total lack of regard for taxpayers who are stretched to the limit.  We thought that most people who took the time to educate themselves on the real issues within the Municipality...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I thought your observations as to what to expect from the newly elected council were very insightful. However, there is one area that I think needs to be addressed and that is the suggestion that our newly elected mayoress does not fully understand the needs and thoughts of the rural residents of Meaford. Barb Clumpus has been...

Letter to the Editor Editor, This election has been a great learning experience. If there was one thing that stood out for me, it was the quality and integrity of all the candidates that put their names forward for election. We, as a municipality, are fortunate to have such a strong, collaborative, and dedicated Council to serve us. I look forward to...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I wish to congratulate The Meaford Independent on your great coverage during the recent municipal election in Meaford. You helped the candidates voice their ideas through the newspaper and the Soapbox. You helped to bring candidates and town citizens together for very necessary interchange of information. And, you helped voters that had problems with the new...
